Mario Balotelli has some time on his hands after Italy failed to advance out of the group stage in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Apparently, he’s not using it wisely.

Balotelli posted a picture of himself pointing a shotgun at a camera, saying it was directed at his “haters.”

Of course, he later removed it after being blasted for posting a picture like that to his 900,000 Instagram followers. Yet another example of how social media can be dangerous for an athlete’s reputation.
